Advanced Data Storage

Business-class data protection without vendor lock-in.

Powered by Zelta, our agentless open-source ZFS backup suite. Compliance-ready architecture, immutable protection, and zero-cost development workflows that traditional storage can't match.

Zelta Backup™ Managed Services

The Zelta team brings deep expertise in ZFS-based storage infrastructure, compliance frameworks, and enterprise data protection workflows.

Whether you need help integrating Zelta into your existing infrastructure, designing compliant storage architectures, building zero-cost development pipelines, or managing enterprise-scale deployments—we deliver the expertise you need.

What We Deliver

Integration & Workflow Design

Seamlessly integrate Zelta into your CI/CD pipelines, monitoring systems, and existing backup workflows. Build QA and dev environments that fork from a common base and consume only the space of what changed—zero-cost workflows that traditional storage cannot match.

Compliance Consulting

Navigate regulatory requirements with confidence. We help you design audit trails, retention policies, and encryption strategies that meet your compliance needs. Our architectures provide the immutable history and verifiable replication that auditors demand.

Infrastructure Management

From small office to enterprise-scale storage clusters, we provide hands-on management, monitoring, and optimization of your ZFS-based infrastructure. Continuous performance tuning, capacity planning, and disaster recovery testing—all handled by practitioners who’ve secured infrastructure for 25 years.

Flexible Engagement Models

We work the way you work—whether that’s SLAs, project-based consulting, or fully managed infrastructure.

• Architecture design and implementation consulting
• Compliance framework development and auditing
• Ongoing infrastructure management and support
• Training and knowledge transfer for your team

Key Capabilities

Immutable Snapshots

ZFS snapshots are atomic, immutable, and cryptographically verified. Your data is protected against ransomware, human error, and malicious insiders. When disaster strikes, you restore with confidence—not hope.

Every snapshot is a complete point-in-time recovery target. No complex chains of incremental backups. No wondering if the restore will actually work. Just bulletproof data protection that meets the most demanding regulatory requirements.

Zero-Cost Development Workflows

This is where Zelta changes everything.

Traditional backup systems treat every copy as a separate entity. Want a QA environment? Pay for full storage. Need a dev sandbox? Pay again. Testing disaster recovery? That’s another bill.

Zelta’s ZFS-powered architecture drastically reduces this waste. Fork production to create QA environments that consume only the space of what changed. Spin up development pipelines that share the same underlying data. Build sophisticated CI/CD workflows that would bankrupt you on traditional storage—at zero incremental cost.

Development teams iterate faster. QA teams test with production-accurate data. Disaster recovery drills become practical instead of theoretical exercises.

Instant Recovery Verification

See your backups work before disaster strikes. Spin up snapshots as live systems in minutes—test disaster recovery scenarios, verify data integrity, or provide read-only access to historical data. What competitors charge premium fees for is built into Zelta’s architecture.

Compliance-Ready by Design

Immutable history, verifiable replication, flexible retention policies—built to meet regulatory requirements and pass examinations.

• Pass regulatory audits: Healthcare organizations meet HIPAA requirements through HHS audits. Financial institutions satisfy SEC, FINRA, and NCUA examinations with WORM-compliant retention and immutable evidence trails.

• Achieve security certifications: Demonstrate SOC 2 Type II control effectiveness with verifiable backup procedures, monitored replication, and documented disaster recovery processes.

• Meet data protection laws: GDPR compliance through right-to-erasure support, data residency controls, and breach detection capabilities.

• Protect critical operations: Healthcare providers defend patient records against ransomware. Financial services firms test disaster recovery for trading systems without impacting production. Development teams iterate on production-accurate data without storage costs spiraling out of control.

We don’t just implement storage—we architect compliance evidence. When auditors ask questions, you’ll have answers backed by cryptographic proof.

No Vendor Lock-In

The Zelta backup and recovery tools are BSD-2-Clause licensed open-source software. Inspect the code. Contribute improvements. Deploy without restrictions. Run on any platform that supports ZFS.

Your data, your infrastructure, your rules. No forced upgrades, no license audits, no surprise price increases. When you work with Bell Tower, you’re investing in capability—not dependency.

Agentless Architecture

No agents, no daemons, no additional attack surface. Zelta runs entirely from a management host using standard remote access tools. Your backup sources and targets need only standard system tools—reducing complexity, eliminating version conflicts, and minimizing security risk.

This zero-footprint design means faster deployments, simpler troubleshooting, and one less thing to patch when vulnerabilities emerge.

About Zelta’s Open-Source Tools

Zelta is Bell Tower's agentless ZFS backup and recovery suite, built to deliver the compliance guarantees, workflow flexibility, and cost efficiency that traditional backup tools can't match.

Battle-tested in production for over six years, managing tens of millions of snapshots across thousands of systems.
